I’ve been having a blast doing a surfboard painting workshop at Balcatta Senior High for the past 3 weeks. It’s for the Gifted and Talented Arts Program and I’m stoked with the progress these guys are making! How lucky are they to go to a school that offers these kinds of programs… the best we used to get was still-life painting and Lino cutting!

More Fieldey workshops are going to be coming to Sydney and Perth this year – if you’re interested in participating or want to suggest a location please contact me with the details.

Students preparing their boards for painting – we’re using second hand boards so they need a fair amount of cleaning.

This is one of my favourite boards and colour combos – clever use of the ol’ liquid soap effect

Awesome concept sketches being drawn up

Another board in progress – it’s starting to come together

This is my board that I’m painting. I’m using Molotow™ One4All inks for this one.

We have the coolest space to work in – lots of old tables, lots of walls to paint on and lots of space to get messy!
